O.K. Just one more question on this topic. What advantage is there to have the
300/600 mi. limitation removed from your O.L.'s? You still have to bring the program
letter with amendments with you, and you still have to fax any updates
to your events list and have that with you. What am I missing?

The advantage is you don't have to be attending an event of any sort to
go beyond the 300 mile proficiency area. You can simply fly the
airplane anywhere you want to without having to be going to an event if
it is outside the 300 NM proficiency area.
If you're attending an EVENT that is not on your program letter, yes you
still have to send a fax to the FSDO regardless of whether it is/was
inside or outside of the 300 NM proficiency area. This is also true if
the 300 NM area is removed. But if your just going to visit your
relatives 800 miles away, you can do it without wondering if you'll get
ramped checked at your destination and be asked what event you're
attending and then having to show your Program Letter or amendment copy
with the "event" on it.

So what defines an EVENT?
Last week Virginia Beach had their Warbirds over the Beach. Is that an event that
I would have to notify the FAA of even if it was within my 300nm area? How
about a fly-in? How about people that live within 300nm of Oshkosh? Do they have
to have that listed on their Program Letter?

Yes, unfortunately, you do have to notify them even if it is within the
300 NM (assuming your OL's have not been updated). Many people believe
(including me at one time) that if an event was within the 300 NM area
you didn't have to notify the FSDO. I was told to read the OL's and
note there is no distinction regarding event distances. In other
words, regardless of the distance from your home base, any event you
attend must either be on your annual program letter or sent to the FSDO
as an amendment to the program letter.
Event is any activity where the aircraft will be exhibited or on display.

Truth of the matter, discussions on legal nonsense is just too much for me to deal
with. I was foolish to even add any comments. You never really know what's
right or wrong, all it ends up being is a discussion of what the words mean,
and in the end some JUDGE and some LAWYERS end up telling us we're ALL wrong!

And you know what? It just never ends. Just when I thought I had made a
mistake, I might have been wrong. :-)
Read this:
8130.2G says:
(37) When an aircraft's home base is changed or there is a transfer of
ownership, the
new owner/operator will take any or all of the following actions within 30
days:
(a) Submit a new program letter to the geographically responsible FSDO.
(b) If an approved inspection program is specified in these operating
limitations,
submit a copy to the geographically responsible FSDO. The gaining FSDO will
not change the
previously approved program unless it can be substantiated that the
previously approved program
no longer meets FAA requirements.
(c) The gaining FSDO will not require the aircraft's airworthiness
certificate or
operating limitations to be reissued, unless the aircraft requires Phase I
test flight operations.
So, I would read that to mean that they won't change the Operating
Limitations.
The whole thing is a crock of dog poop. Who knows for sure WHAT anything
means.
Good luck... Mark's out of this one. ENOUGH already. I quit.

Ok.
I was wrong. The light bulb just went on.
Dennis, you are/were absolutely correct.
If you change your Operating Limitations in ANY way, that means you also are
going to HAVE to obtain a new Special Airworthiness Certificate because the
dates on the two documents MUST MATCH! Darn it, I hate when that happens,
but I do pride myself on at least being able to stand up and admit when I
screw up.
So... you change the Operating Limitations, you must get a new Airworthiness
Certificate along with it, and since it ALSO is new, 8130.2G will probably
apply.
I say "probably" because I don't even trust my own judgment when it comes to
FAA regulations, and I am not going to bother the EAA anymore with this.

Here is how the EAA Govt. Liason Division interprets these rules. These
people talk to those that MAKE the rules, not to local FISDO's that
INTERPRET the rules.
Thus I consider the EAA to be the best experts available unless you know
someone in Washington DC that works for the FAA.
And the answer the EAA writes below is EXACTLY why I took this issue up the
chain to get a better understanding.
What Dennis wrote is of course absolutely correct... he just didn't mention
8130.2G, paragraph 4107
And Dennis, I also (respectfully :-) once more disagree when you mention
that any changes made to CURRENT Operating Limitations will result in you
now being required to fall under 8130.2G, and thus get a whole NEW set of
Operating Limitations.
New Airworthiness Certificate .... yes. 8130.2G applies, and you will get
all new Operating Limitations and ... you will be required to carry your
Program Letter with you, etc.
Removal of an Operating Limitation from an EXISTING list of Operating
Limitations attached to an EXISTING Experimental Airworthiness Certificate
written under 8130.2F .... NO!
Mark Bitterlich
p.s. For a complete understanding read the response from the EAA contained
below.

Subject: RE: Yak-List: Re: Program Letter
Mark, this is an issue that may differ from aircraft to aircraft based
on the issued operating limitations -
The FAR baseline for this requirement is FAR 21.193 - it says a program
letter must be submitted, it does not mention a annual requirement.
The second baseline is FAR 91.319(i) - it says the administrator may
prescribe additional limitations the administrator feels necessary.
**this means the FAA can change to operating limitations as
necessary to address and resolve safety and operations issues.
FAA Order 8130.2F (effective Nov 2004 - April 2011), limitation (37) -
the operator must submit an annual program letter.
**no requirement that the program letter must be carried on
board.
FAA Order 8130.2G (effective April 2011 - present), limitation (3) the
operator must submit an annual program letter...and a copy of the
program letter and any amendments must be carried on board the aircraft
any time that the aircraft is being operated.
**carrying the program letter is a new requirement.
FAA Order 8130.2G, paragraph 4107 d - states that "all previously issued
airworthiness certificates and operating limitations will remain valid
unless changes are requested by the applicant or reexamined by the FAA
in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44709."
Bottom line - If your airworthiness certificate and operating
limitations were issued under an earlier edition of 8130.2 (editions A,
B, C, D. E, or F) then you do not have a requirement to carry a program
letter on board the aircraft. And since there is NO requirement to turn
in your existing documents for a new version issued under the new
8130.2G, you do not need to carry your program letter. This new
requirement will only apply to those experimental exhibition aircraft
issued an original airworthiness certificate on/after April 11, 2011.

Any new Special Airworthiness Certificates and Operating Limitations

I'm not aware of any insurance requirements by the FAA. Some airshows
may require proof of liability insurance. Your policy may state
fly-by's are permitted and included in the policy coverage. It would
be best to discuss this issue with your insurance agent.

My Yak-50 doesn't have guns Doc, ... my UTVA-66 however is fully
equipped for light machine guns, rockets, and up to 350 pounds of bombs
on each wing hardpoint. :-)
That said, I'm interested in doing anything I haven't already done. I'm
also interested in learning how to do better, what I already can.

Copy, Mark. Program letter is already in the A/C's don't do tail slides
anyway. All it represents to is out of airspeed, out of energy, out of
options, and out of ideas making for a nice big fat target for a guns
snap shot. Why waste an Atoll or an AIM 9 when a wall of 20 mm will do?!
guess what I'm saying is I could care less about tail slides. ;^))

Mark,
There is no change to the program letter or it's requirements.
There also was no change to the operating limitations. There is no need to
change them unless you make some kind of major change to the aircraft or its
location.
Thanks for being on top of things out there.

Rick,
I just discovered that 8130.2F has been replaced by 8130.2G. Is there
anything I need to do on the operating limitations or program letter for my
YAK 52, N44YK? If so is it something I can do when I send in my program
letter for next year?
Thanks for you help as always!
